Uno-X Mobility hand out a huge contract extension to its founding member: "I remember when there were 20 people in total"
Cycling
We might never see massive cast changes at Uno-X Mobility, but that's also one of the team's many charms. Rather than international recruitment and a bag of money, the Scandinavian formation bets on loyalty and family-like atmosphere. What that means is that the team's longest-serving member Jonas Abrahamsen will wear the same colours all the way until the end of 2030 season!
"I have been with the team since 2017, and I have obviously developed a lot. That is perhaps what means the most to me – that I can keep developing and take new steps. That gives me the most motivation, and I hope I can continue doing that," Abrahamsen states in a press release. "And of course, the amazing atmosphere among the riders, staff and the whole group is important."
Abrahamsen has seen the project develop from a small continental team to a well-established WorldTour team. And the ambitions don't stop there.
"It is incredibly fun to have been part of this since we were around 20 people in total – mechanics, riders, sports directors and carers included. Now we are probably around 100," he says.
"We have learned a lot by making many mistakes. You learn from mistakes, and every time I have made mistakes, I have learned and become even better. So it is nice to be in a place where you are allowed to make mistakes."

The ambitions go beyond
In 2026, Uno-X Mobility have ranked 9th in the world. A massive result for the team which has only just entered the WorldTour guild. And seeing the example of XDS Astana who have for two seasons in a row competed for a top-5 spot using optimized approach to racing rather than superstar riders, Uno-X aims to reach the same heights soon enough.
"We have a plan to keep getting better all the time. Now we are WorldTour, and I am aiming for us to become a top-five team in the WorldTour. That is the goal, at least. Then we have to bring in people and expertise – and that is what we are doing at Uno-X."

Abrahamsen himself has witnessed many of Uno-X's big moments first-hand. When Soren Waerenskjold won the team's first WorldTour Classic at 2025 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, Abrahamsen was helping him. And a few months later, it was the strong Norwegian himself who secured Uno-X's first Grand Tour stage win at the Tour de France.
The 2026 season may not have been as successful for the 31-year-old, but he doesn't let it get to him. Instead, Abrahamsen already outlines the bucket list items he'd like to help Uno-X cross out in the next four seasons.
"I dream of winning a Monument, but also of being part of the team winning a Grand Tour – preferably the Tour de France. That is perhaps the biggest dream for the team. With hard work, anything is possible," he says.
Personally, Abrahamsen sees his future at the cobbled Classics. And a 5th place from this year's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad supports his bid. "My hope is to win Tour of Flanders or Paris-Roubaix. I hope to get a top five first, and then work my way towards the best possible result," he concludes.

- if he can win the Giro, he should go. Tadej won't be there. Remco has won the Vuelta already. this gets him 2/3 of the way through the trilogy. even if Remco takes 2 minutes out of Tadej in the TTs - and I don't think he will - but should he, then Tadej wins by 8 minutes instead of 10? Remco has been so far below Tadej's level in LBL, TdF, Lombardia, and more. he is light years away from beating him in the TdF.mij30-10-2026
- Tadej is a pretty great time trialist. he is no Remco, no one is, but Tadej has won 40% of his TTs and podiumed far more.mij30-10-2026
- As long as he stays healthy, he´ll be just fine :)Lukicinho30-10-2026
- as much as i like JV, i dont see him winning another tour as long as Pog is around, and even then, he might be past his prime vs the younger guys.Crashjames30-10-2026
- This is cause Visma isnt good enough and realize that they cant contest for the TDF anymore(they dont have the means) thats why they will transition to this indeed. And its the right call.miguel30-10-2026
- With this course, don't be surprised is Seixas wins it if Tadej doesn't close on the tt's. There are a lot of ifs, let see how the early season goes for all of them.awp30-10-2026
- That's true. Even one Tour win is a dream.awp30-10-2026
